Let’s meet our native English speaker – Bev.

Hi, I’m Bev. I’m a born and bred Londoner who, along with my partner, Tom, tired of the London rat race and sought a new life in Slovenia. We have two children who attend the local primary school. Their favourite subject is English – no surprise there then ☺

My background is in IT, business analysis and programme management. You may be thinking that it’s a far cry from working with preschool children but is it? Leading large groups of people through organisational and technological change is not dissimilar to facilitating the major developmental leaps that children undergo whilst, at the same time, trying to make sense of the world around them.

I work in English and assist the Montessori staff across both groups. Using the space and materials we have at our disposal, as well as the child’s exploration utilising all their senses, English language becomes part of the harmony around us. I’m a big kid at heart and love to dance, sing and read. Needless to say, these are my hobbies so it’s great to be able to bring them to work with me and enjoy them with our little ones.

I’m an outgoing, fun-loving person with an infectious spirit. I love working with children as they are full of energy, wonderment and, most of all, honest ☺. They’re like kindred spirits really.
